I LOVE MYSELF GOLDEN

Men and women being held in incarceration participate in a workshop series. Participants are exposed to the work of great artists, inspiring/resonant exercises and games, improvisation, and commedia del arte practices. Each workshop is comprised of a large writing component including poetry and playwriting. Participants bring their writing to life using theatre.

The I LOVE MYSELF GOLDEN series culminates in the sharing of the participant's work inside the facility with peers, staff and loved ones. Cal State's Prison Project, Tia Chucha's Centro Cultural, Poets & Writers and Unlock Tomorrow are partner organizations with The Roots and Wings I LOVE MYSELF GOLDEN.

"Being able to come together and vent without judgement...it is freeing. We are all broken in some way or another. That is the beauty of it. Empowerment! Change! Seeing the other side and believing that it is achievable."

Participant, I LOVE MYSELF GOLDEN Writing Workshop Participant, CIW Women’s Prison
